Someone needs to do something about these labradoodles. They’re getting out of hand
-Hi-Reddit on
I don’t like a grown man’s chances of survival against two of those dogs let alone a 4 year old

I have a 4 year old and this scares the shit out of me. The measures on this are not strong enough. Just totally ban the breed, no exceptions.

Seems strange that they were merely new-banned and not euthanised.
You wouldn’t ban guns and wait for them to naturally fall apart.
Them being living things is slightly irrelevant when they’re such a threat to other living things, and we butcher and euthanise animals daily for much less.
I’m glad cases like this have fallen, but there shouldn’t have been a single nother case since the ban.
I’m assuming the police just don’t have the resources to enforce it properly?

People often resort to talking about breed aggression in the Pitbull debate. But really its capability of harm that is the real issue. Don’t care if a chihuahua is more aggressive on average than a Pitbull, the worst it can do is a bit of finger damage. If a breed frequently shows the capability for fatal harm we should regulate it, just like we would with any potential tool or vehicle.

But if you carried a weapon to defend yourself from one of these animals you’d be the one going to prison. Madness

The owners of these dogs need to be held legally responsible.

Often on my walks I see people struggling not be dragged around like rag dolls by giant muscle machines they are clearly incapable of controlling even under the calmest circumstances on the daily.
They rarely walk only one, it’s usually 2 to 4 beasts.
I don’t like it one bit, but apparently the right of a few bellends to look scary trumps the right of the average person/child/pet to live free of the fear and real possibility of being mauled to death/maimed horribly by a dog that has never even once been “in control” as the law requires. 🤷♀️

Really need to start jailing people for 10+ years for such things.

I’ve started carrying a pocket knife around for this exact reason. We have a local rude boy who walks around smoking a zoot with his off lead running all over the place and is still in tact. It’s only a matter of time before someone’s dog or kid gets grabbed by it.

As someone who is in the dog world (I used to show dogs and worked at my local kennel club teaching KC Bronze, Silver, and Gold), anyone who has any sense in the dog world knows that XL Bullies are complete status symbols and a good majority of owners (even after the muzzle and neuter program) are not fit to own them.
I do not have an issue with well bred Staffies, or any other bull breed, but XL Bullies are not a recognised breed and I’ve never seen an ethical breeder breed an XL Bully. There are no breed standards for it, no way to trace their lineage.
XL Bullies are one of those dog breeds that you get when you want to walk around looking hard like “Look at me with my huge scary attack dog, but at the same time they’re a nanny dog that totally won’t maim a child!!!!!!”. Nine times out of ten, the owners are not in control of them at all, even with the muzzles. These dogs are too powerful for their owners.
I wouldn’t have as much of an issue with them if the owner was in control of them, and knew how to handle them, but people want this dog that’s gonna protect them, while simultaneously not putting them through the training that any good attack dog would get. It’s the same reason why I hate to see first time dog owners with Belgian Malinois, they are not a first time owner dog.
It’s the same reason that Cane Corsos, Dogo Argentinos, and Tosas are banned over here. They just see the attack dog without putting in the work needed. You have to be VERY responsible with these dogs. I wouldn’t even want one because I know that I wouldn’t be able to provide an XL Bully with the lifestyle, and the training, that they need.

Should all be destroyed, not a single person who got one of these dogs is a responsible dog owner, as if you were responsible you wouldn’t have got one

Vicious dig breed universally owned by inadequates mauls a child. What a shock.
Still, I daresay all the morons will be out in force to tell us how there’s nothing wrong with these animals.

Why the fuck do people insist on leaving their dogs off leash in a park with children?
I’m sorry but I honestly think dogs shouldn’t be allowed to be off leash unless they’re in an area specifically designated for dogs.
I’ve had a dog run up to me in a park before when I was with my then 6 month old and try to steal my lunch. I just let it have it because I was scared it would go for my daughter. Owner comes running up red faced and barely apologises. Put your dog on a fucking leash.
This poor 4 year old child, she will be traumatised by this.

Why is “XL Bullies” in quotes? Is it because the government actually has no fucking idea which dogs are genetically XL Bullies and doesn’t care? Is it because the government is planning to slaughter any dog that so much as LOOKS like one?
Oh, what’s that? You have a happy little Staffie? Too bad, cut its throat and hang that murderous XL Bully to bleed! We can’t be bothered to actually identify if a dog is an XL Bully or not we just want to kill any dog that looks a certain way!!!
